Srinagar Flood - September 2014

With enormous and continuous rain day and night for 5 days in Srinagar, water drainage became a big threat for the region. The city is already surrounded from 3 sides by mountain ranges. Civilians and residents in Srinagar rely on open drainage mechanism for rain water.

Few localites take courage and moved to the nearby safer areas like Leh and Ladakh. Watching water enter their home, people at their own risk started moving towards the army camps at Srinagar airport. With the help of Srinagar Govt. rescue operation, army are evacuating people stranded in the water lodged areas.
